Who knows what geometry it was formatted with? FAT boot sector, etc, are quite easy to spot - try "dd if=/dev/sd1i count=1 | hexdump -C" with reference to another FAT partition that can be mounted successfully and http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File_Allocation_Table and you'll soon know if the partition table is correct. I wonder if reformatting the card might get it into some shape where it can be seen by both camera and OpenBSD...may be worth dd'ing an image of it as it currently stands before doing this, so it can be restored if necessary.
